Hey NVDA users...

Hey NVDA users... Is there a native (or third party) alternative for the lion add on? Something that can perform continuous OCR with interval options and cropping? My intended use case is for reading video game dialogue...

@CarrieOnA11y NVDA, preferences, Windows OCR, Periodically refresh recognized content. It' snot as customizable though.

@bscross32 fantastic! I will try this out. Thank you so much.

@CarrieOnA11y Wait, you're still using NVDA in 2072? What version are they on now?

[bscross32@tweesecake.social]

@Scott @CarrieOnA11y Heh, maybe by then, they changed their name to something that wouldn't be the same as Nvidia's symbol on the New York Stock Exchange.

@CarrieOnA11y There is continuous, Windows OCR settings in NVDA settings, built in. No cropping though I don't think.

[carrieona11y@mastodon.social]

@Scott Wait, you're destroying the continuity. We're in 2172. Remember? You're off by 100 years from cannon. 2072 is only 66 years from now and so maybe nvda is still around. Maybe?

@pixelate @CarrieOnA11y Yeah sadly that's just a checkbox that shows no editional settings once checked. Maybe the duration could be changed in a config file, because surely the duration is set somewhere...

@CarrieOnA11y I forget my own jokes all the time, but that's the first time it's cost me a hundred years. Anyways, I hope moving all the NVDA add-ons to 64-bit is still going well wherever you are.
